Glacier National Park (USA) and Waterton Lakes National Park (Canada) are actually one spanning the border between the two countries. In fact, you need a passport to go between the two although they are divided by a man made imaginary line. I am not sure which has the most beautiful lake. Waterton is wonderful, but McDonald in Glacier is amazing too. The photo above is of McDonald looking toward Canada. Neither park is as crowded as others we have been in. But, midsummer the campgrounds and hotels fill up. Our trip there was part of a road trip. We flew to Calgary and rented a car. Then it was Banff, Jasper, Waterton, Glacier, Flathead Lake, and back to Banff and Calgary. It took us over two weeks. Much of the time we were sighing and inhaling in wonder of the beauty.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
